Reading Comprehension: Making Connections

Making Connections to Text 6 July 2017

1. Why is it important to connect to the text when you read?
   It gives our brains to store new information about the story
   
2. How do connections make it easier for your brain to find information?
   Making connections give us more ways we can understand different things

3. What is self-to-text connection?
   Self-to-text is when you connect something that has something in your life to something in the book

4. What is a text-to-text connection?
   Text-to-text is when you connect the story to something similar you have read before

5. What is a text-to world connection?
   Text-to-world is when you connect the story book to something you have proably seen on the news or on the internet

In this reading comprehension we learnt about the importance of the making connections and why it is so useful and helpful. The reading comprehension asked questions and we had to explain our answers to see if we understood the passage. In this activity I learnt the differences between self-to-text, text-to-text and text-to-world. I found this very useful and I hope to use more strategies like this in the future.
